Astronomers have discovered nearly 6,000 planets beyond our own solar system. Here's how — and how we'll find even more.

Israeli astronomers report the detection of a new Jupiter-like exoplanet using the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet ...

Planet demographics reveal a puzzling lack of worlds in a certain size range throughout the galaxy F or centuries our solar ...

Monitoring known radial velocity planets at predicted transit times is a proven method of detecting transits, and presents an avenue through which to explore the mass-radius relationship of exoplanets ...

Gaia, a mission designed to map stars, has accidentally become a planet hunter. Using precise astrometry, it detected stellar ...

So indirect methods are employed ... Broadband Fabry–Pérot etalons are used as calibration sources in radial velocity exoplanet detection. This Article explores their performance limits ...

The rate of exoplanet discovery has since climbed ... By combining information from radial velocity and transit methods, for instance, astronomers will be able to determine the compositions ...

One typical method is the radial velocity or Doppler method. The researcher hunts for shifts in the light of the host star, which can give evidence of the presence of a planet. Dr Anglada-Escudé has ...
